This photo of Charles J. Turner of Rock Falls, IA was taken in 1954. Charles registered the first deer in Mason City that year. The following caption accompanied this photo: VENISON AHEAD—Charles J. (Slim) Turner of Rock Falls is shown with a 200-pound deer he shot Thursday on the opening day of deer season. He started hunting at 9 a.m. and made the kill shortly after noon about four miles west and a mile south of Northwood in Worth County. Turner bagged the deer with a 16 gauge shotgun at about 100 yards while shooting from a tree. He also shot a timber wolf in the same area. His clean-up job will include getting the blood off his car.
